Electric Lit's 11 Powerful Coming-Of-Age Stories Set in Korea

"South Korea's recent influence in the world economy, media, and culture has been nothing short of spectacular. South Korean author Han Kang won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature and other Korean American writers have also been recognized for their contributions. Chang-Rae Lee's Native Speaker won the Pen/Hemingway Prize in 1996, Linda Sue Park's The Single Shard was a Newbury Medal winner in 2002, and Min Jin Lee's Pachinko was a finalist for the National Book Award in 2017. There is a growing demand for stories about Korea, and this list of coming-of-age stories set in Korea provides a peek into just a few that deserve to be read."
